We want SONOS App dark mode back!

The "Dark" mode won't use less battery power than the regular mode. The backlight on the LCD screen burns the same brightness no matter what pixels are masking it. Reduce your brightness as a whole if you mistakenly think having a dark image on your screen makes any difference.
OLED uses less power on black because black is literally off.

The new bright skin is ugly and intrusive -- I absolutely hate it. Give us an option for the dark skin please.

The new android app sucks. Navigation is much harder -- you have to remember how to get to the main functions -- those dumb buttons at the bottom of one of the screens -- and you have to remember what those buttons do. The old app was much, much easier and more intuitive to use. I hate the new app.

And when is Android going to get trueplay? Come on, Sonos -- your products are great, but your android software just got worse, and it's missing an important function that apple devices have.

I've got $1400 worth of Sonos gear -- $300 spent this this month for another pair of Play 1's. Make my investment worth it, Sonos -- fix your awful app, and give us trueplay.

I also want the option to chose a dark theme. Shouldn't be that complicated to offer that.

I wonder how 8.x on Android would look like with activated color inversion?! :8

I can live with/reluctantly get used to the other changes made in the latest Sonos update, but who in the world thought it it would be a good idea to change the black background to white??! It's terrible, offensive every time I use Sonos. Was this a mistake? Please change it back to black with the next upgrade. Please!! You've really messed with your otherwise sleek brand.

Give us options to use our preference.
In this age of time this is not difficult to implement !:?
Agreed... I can totally understand that the space required to provide flexibility may be restricted on the players, but that's not the case for all modern controllers. Any half-way decent piece of modern software usually allows the user to tailor important aspects. I haven't 'upgraded' to the latest version, but even v7.1 is a nightmare on Android phones and tablets in a room with low lighting. It's hard to believe that any professional software designer could have come up with this, but then I don't think that UI issues are Sonos's forte... I just won’t use it like this. I use the Spotify app primarily which has issues but at least it doesn’t BLIND me! What were Sonos thinking ??!!

I don't know what else to say except they just don't care about what anyone thinks. How this app got released even though people were complaining vehemently on the beta forum boggles my mind. Unless you go with "they just don't care".

The outcry over this app is not quite like we have seen before. I do agree that there are issues with it relative to the previous but I do not struggle with it half as much as others do.

Allow a bit more time to see how Sonos responds to the feedback. They have said that they are taking it on board. So let’s wait and see.

It's as TheHellers says. This app shouldn't have gotten past beta, let alone go through several updates without any of the issues being addressed.

And given the extent of the backlash, Sonos response of planning to make some changes in future versions, doesn't sound like much of an acknowledgement or commitment to address the laundry list of issues.

Ok. Let’s wait to see what the future actually holds. No point in speculating.
